Sylvia Low Level Coaches

Lloyd

Looking for any information about this company, please. The vehicle illustrated is a Daimler with a 1921 registration, but might be an old WW1 army lorry chassis - many ended up as buses & coaches. I can't find them listed in phone books of the period, and the advert gives no indication of the proprietor's name.
Sylvia Coaches, Benacre ST & Barford St. .jpg
 
A bit later than expected. Very shortlived I think. . this is from 1939. 72 Benacre St is listed in 1930s and 40s only as John Addis furniture removers,. The only transport firm listed at that time in Barford St was a Birmingham Transport depot

Addis removals used to do coach trips at the weekends and I was told that they removed the body from the removal van and fitted a coach body for the weekend. I think that the Addis family are still in the removal business although I've not spoken to any of them for a few years, John.
